This forum is getting very slow...It's time for SSExtremes.. :)
-
It's these pointless cookies empire and jokes topics with nearly 200+ pages!!! ::)
Poor database ;D
-
Borum? You mean "boredom"? Well, on forum is pretty boring now, comparing to how it was in 2008 - 2009.
-
Yes, the "golden era", with DJM, Terry and Fred.. :)

Yes, the "golden era", with DJM, Terry and Fred.. :)
...together with Captain Titanic/Microsoft/Gloat, Shipwreck, shipfan55, firestar12, capn_cal, Agent/Austin, MMM...
Those were the days!
-
We do seem to have lost quite a few people
But if we work hard we can still keep this place interesting ;)
-
I completely agree - which is why I'm trying to do something about it ;)
-
I'm still here guys..
Scratch my name off that list, WM. :)
I meant the time (2008 & a some time from 2009) when you were firestar12. Remember - MP days, forum posts & topics, eh? ;)
-
true.
this is an experemant
if possible post NOW when read

I just wanted to know what would happen...
I was dissapointed...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
See, didn't your parents ever tell you what would happen if you pressed that button... :doh: ;D
-
;D I can't believe you bought that, FM... :lol:
You know Ferryman - he just can't help himself whenever he sees a post (no matter about the content) & the "Quote" button near it. ;)

Hmm... what does this button do...
"QUOTE"
;D
I was expecting Captain Cadet to offer me a world Ferry cruise or something
And you say this place is boring... ;D
***Note Quoted due to WM being on a "Quote this User to retain Sanity" list

::)
-
Exactly:
Also, since you have completely rewritten your original post and deleted others to avoid embarrassment, we should add you to the list of those whose posts should be quoted in full when replying.
That is bad forum etiquette, and reason to have every one of your posts flagged for reference.
Writing it down now:
Quote
Wave Music (My honoured 1st place)
-
I'm still around ;D been around since 2006 ::) I've seen lots of things and people come and go both good and bad :P
-
Plus, if you quote someone, then the post is still there even if they delete it. There's lots of users that delete posts, which I why I quote.
Exactly:
Ok, joining your group now! :thumbs:
Lets quote this place!

Respect to you, MC!

Respect to you, MC!
been here since 2008, September I think, I could check, but that would mean I had to open a new window, which I'm too lazy to do... But yeah, we don't see many members who have been here since 2006-7 which have kept their original usernames.
-
August 2006 same name ;D same little old me :doh:
-
Hi guys :)
I hopefully have a bit more time back with the forum again, my Day Skipper course is nearly up so hopefully i'll have a little more free time again ;D
Jack.

Good news, Jack.. :thumbs:
-
I haven't changed mine ;) Nor do I intend to.

Good you're staying onboard DCOW..(not sure about your new name).. ;)

D-COW ?
Shane, I liked "Firestar" better. But that name will turn you into a "bad guy" again, so be D-COW now. :thumbs:
-
sounds like a plane registration...
how about dark?
-
Why you made it "DarkChestOfWonders" but not "Dark Chest Of Wonders" ? The latter would have looked better.
You haven't registered your keys yet. ???
-
Now Now. It's his choice, don't slag him off over it.
-
Ok, DarkChest it is.. :)
-
It really is like watching paint dry here sometimes, I suppose that is the way of things.. :)
-
Hi D-Cow, now I really like your name ;D
-
Hi D-Cow, now I really like your name ;D
If we'll be calling him that way I'm sure we'll get back our good'ol friend "Firestar". :doh:
-
Mooooo!...
;D ;D
-
Moooo :doh: :evil:
-
Sorry, but she looks kinda ugly. :P
Pity, we have here only "Rate that ugly ship!" topic. ;D

Is that you then DarkChest ?
-
It certainly is, TFM! ;D
Now I understand what kind of lie you were living here before. :doh:
-
Here's a nice optical illusion: stare at this picture long enough and you will see a ship.. ;D
-
I stared at it for 3 seconds and saw it is on the Queen Mary 2. The background is part of QM2's design. The pool is part of the design. And ever since we lost the best forum members, administrators, Moderators, etc., the Ship Sim Forum is becoming like Davy Jones' Locker, only one person in the locker who is bored.
-
still can't see the ship, it's like something is in the way...
-
Seems like you didn't stare long enough matt, it's not on QM2..
It's on the Royal Iris (you should check ShipQuiz now and then) ;D
-

Well said! :thumbs:
-
I agree too...
More people should visit Ship Quiz...
-
I hate to say it but...
We're dying on our feet here, aren't we...
:'(
The community is shrinking...
The topics are becoming more... different...
-
Yes, it has become rather quiet here.. Let's hope it gets better.. :)
-
Lets hope so...
-
If you look at the stats over March there is an overall drop..
Maybe Extremes will give a boost..
-
lets hope so, but how many will be fresh blood, and how many will just be the regulars buying the new version...
At least we will get the 'interesting' people whose licence key seems to have been... misplaced so could somone gove them theres...
-
Well, looking at the bright side. If you continue to post some more photos of swimsuit and bikini Spambot saltydog, I'm pretty sure that the activity will ..eh.. grow...on the male side...and probably not on the Spambot side of forum users :D ;D
-
As the male-Spambot ratio is 51:1, (and I can't remember the last time I saw a Spambot here), I would say it's a done deal.. Besides, they are free to post a swimming pool hot hunk.. ;D
-
Seems like ShipSim has some serious competition: here's ShipSim in Google Earth.. ;D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AQXvHSf3yQ
-
Yes, it's just awfull when people do that.. 8)
-
Here's a nice picture.. :)
-
for all I can say, I am sure this forum will get very active when SSE is released. We will have tons of topics to talk about and everyone is going to try to be first.
-
Right now, it is just all of us who are keeping the Forum barely alive. Like Minime said, when SSE is released, the forum might get a jump start into busy-ness since every still active member knows of the majestic new ocean system that has realistic effects, like realistic foam. This and some other topics are keeping the forum from becoming a lost cause. So the topics are the forum's last hope.

Sir IWriteALot, why in every topic you always have to explain the point of the post above yours even if it was clear enough?
-
I won't be on the forum much from now on. My life has got a lot busier and I simply don't have much time left over at the moment. In the past, the forum pretty much dominated my life, and It showed elsewhere. I got poor results in the last school assesment, and I've realised it's time to knuckle down and get the grades first.
I would like to warn ALL members about the dangers of addiction. I realised that I was becoming highly addicted to not only the forum, but to this computer too. I was beginning to see the forum and various other stuff as commitments, and putting them quite high up on the priority list, higher than other more important things. Look at your computer usage. Any more than 2 hours a day is getting towards an addiction.
Internet/gaming addiction is mostly unheard of. But it exists and is very real.
Thank you.
(and I've got a stinking cold!!!)
-
You're right, McG. Looking at my stats, especially "Total Time Spent Online", I must immediately go get some life. :thumbs:
-
I have calculated on average I am on here for 8 hours a day...
I am screwed... :-X

People in your age already finished 5 unies, married 10 Spambot & had 20 children. I don't know why you're lost in the childhood with your ferries. ???
-
Viewing the stats, Fred has a serious case of internet-addiction.. (and I'm in the top-10 list as well)
SD, I'll put now you in the list of those who remove their posts after a while & whose posts should be quoted in the first place.
-
Hey, guess who gave me the idea..? ;)
-

I don't know 10 Spambot...

I don't know 10 Spambot...
Because your mind has a room for 10 & more ferries! :doh:

I've just been doing some math (not my strongest point)
FM has been registered about 500 days, and been here 64..
That's about 1/8th, which amounts to about 3 hours per day.. ;D

i thought McGherkin 's long speech was a april fools, or is he telling the truth?
-
I am deadly serious.
-
You're not completely gone. You can always find an extra minute to open the forum & post something.
Am I right, Ferryman?
-
Of course
-
Of course
That's a Ferryman! :thumbs:
-
We need to work out ideas to make the forum last until SSE...
-
Maybe we should bring back some Marmite on this forum? Where's that sarcastic Stu?
-
Gone... :'(
Maybe we could find a new 'Marmite' thread
-
We lost these Marmite suppliers / forum life stimulators:
Terry
Stu
Any substitute people out there?
-
I don't think so... :-\
-
R.I.P. Ship Simulator Forum (2007 - 2010)
-
:'( :'( :'(
-
Forum is seriously pretty dead now... During whole day - just a few posts & nothing interesting to read! :thumbdown:
Boring place... :sleepy:
-
It is a sad day... :'(
Where IS everybody?
not the people who have left, but those who 'haven't' but don't post anymore...
-
I think they all gone looking for life together with Magerkin after his speech yesterday. :-\
Ferryman, do something! Do the Ferry Dance & save the forum or we all soon will die out here like the dinos did in their times!
-
Well as long as we are here, the forum is alive...
-
We need more people here...
I see Shipaddict is looking in this topic but resisting to post even a word here. Well, glad that he's still alive here comparing to the majority.
-
Maybe VSTEP could post a small update? Anything - otherwise the forum may be dead by the time SSE comes...
-
There ARE small updates every Friday! But people seems like fed up with everything.
We want new SSE videos, new screenshots of new SSE ships, etc.
(Though that sounded like from a noobiest noob)
-

Exactly - we need something to discuss...
-
Resisting? I don't think so :P
Yeah the forum has slowed down a bit, and there isn't the same amount of regulars as there used to be. No doubt it will pick up with Extremes though.
There should hopefully be a Dev Diary in the April magazine, hopefully some more information will be let out in that. At some stage in future issues I hope to have some screenshots or renders of SSE related stuff. As we get closer I think VSTEP will release more, especially soon. :)
-
The only things I want to know about SSE:
1) Will be there if only one floating crane?
2) Will be there some other offshore vessels, like another (but not acid-coloured) AHTS, PSV, stand-by ship, jack-up rig, offshore construction vessel?
That's the only 2 things I want to know! SA, if in your magazine those small tiny little questions will be answered, I'll be very pleased!
(Wow, that sounded again like from a noob :doh:)
-
*yawn*
Still here... Just not as much.

What do we do... ?
-
you know it is boring here but maybe sometime they will 'clean up' and make the site more interesting. it may be boring but it is quiet useful. :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
-
While awaiting SSE, here's a funny simple ferry-docking game I just found.. (also with Dover and Calais ;) )
http://www.aferry.co.uk/game/
-
Hope SSE will bring the forum back to life. If not, we might have to do some recruiting :P SME is also dead, and not sure about BSL, Titan Shipping might still be alive, and I don't want to think of GPV or Cunard Virtual. OL is also dead. If the SS Forum is dead, so are the forums that is a Ship Sim branch.
-
May I ask what actually the point is of this topic? something about SS Extremes?
-
No, it's a certain few people moaning about the lack of activity on this forum.
-
That's right.. Like complaining about the weather.. ;)
-
But SD has a good sense of humour, in everything here. ;)
Here's an example: http://80.95.161.114/shipsim/forum/index.php/topic,4068.0.html
-
Too kind, WM.. :) Well, like the weather, we can only hope for sunny days.. ;D
-
here, it is going to storm which is a sign to me that the Forum might be forgotten. And the time here I posted, 3:42 A.M. it is just five days, 21 hours until April 10th, 2010. the 98th anniversary of Titanic's Maiden Voyage.

Minime, just ignore him, my friend. ;)
-
well, thought I should make a reply to that since it gave me quite a nice laugh...
-
First I thought that matt is just silly, that's why he messes up all facts everytime he gives a "help advice" or, better to say, repeats the post above but, of course, with messing everything in it. Now I came to conclusion that he does all that for some purpose.

I had an electric one. I never needed to tune it.
-
Indeed. My old organ was handily equipped with bass pedals too.
I'm sure the fans will love to hear it?
Next thing you'll be playing it down a hill like in a certain beer advert.
-
Paino?
-
If it's electric, It's a keyboard. Unless it's an organ like mine.
-
Creepy in my case. You could also change the ee to ap and it would still be accurate.
-
I'll ship you my organ. In fact, I'll use a new company called 'Careless Airways'

Hmm, maybe they drugged them up first :)
-
An airliner once flew through an ash cloud. stalled all the engines, and they had to glide until all the ash had cooled and blown away before the engines restarted. Of course, they didn't know they were flying through an ash cloud. nobody thought to tell them about the eruption

Was it this one..? ;D

I wouldn't be surprised.. :D

Talking of plane crashes, Poland is REALLY stuffed now. Practically the whole government died.
-
Old news..They will sort it out..
-
I know it's old news.
They may sort it out, but they are going to take a huge hit financially and in terms of policies.
-
Last I heard, they are pinning the blame on the pilot..
Big deal now: where to bury the president..?
-
They'll find somewhere. Probably the biggest park in Poland, or in a church or something.
-
last I've heard is they might delay the funeral, because of the dust clouds from Iceland. So that important persons can attend the funeral.
-
Our queen is taking the Royal Train.. :)
-
I think the Queen of Denmark was supposed to take the plane, though she could just jump across the ocean and voila, she'd be in Poland.

hehe, but I must say, Iceland is not a very thankful land, we go and give them what in our country is a lot of money to Iceland, what do they do? They close our only airport.

In this case 3 daily tablespoons of Marmite is recommended.. :D

Already have. I must say, I am enjoying the faster P6, she feels like she can actually catch something as criminal as the Bugsier 2 now. Shame I lost the lights and
horn siren though. (I hate the smaller controls, I've used them on a 48 inch HDTV and I still hate them.)
-
the only problem i have with them smaller controls is that if i want to set the throttle in a different position the bowthruster moves with it

New York – April 27, 2010 – Paradox Interactive today released new screen shots of the upcoming installment in the Ship Simulator series.
Set to release in Q3 2010, Ship Simulator Extremes features . . .
The source:
http://www.paradoxplaza.com/press/2010/4/ship-simulator-extremes-screenshots-released

No screenshots - no sense.
-
A new Dutch invention against pirates: the P-Trap
Ropes on either side of the ship to foil their propellors..
-
I saw a video a while back of a gun which fires a net into the water with much the same effect.
-
That would need some poor guy staying awake all night at the net gun.. :)
-
Actually it's designed to be handheld, it's not needed at any other time.
